Question

Since the first grade in elementary school, my child’s grades have not been good. The teacher says that during each class, my son is constantly moving around, unable to sit still, and does not pay attention to the lessons. We are worried that he may have ADHD. How can ADHD be treated effectively?

Answer

ADHD is a condition that generally requires comprehensive evaluation and treatment, which can include medication along with psychological support. Medications such as methylphenidate can be used, but the optimal treatment plan should be determined based on individual circumstances. While understanding symptomatic treatment, patients with ADHD can also take some auxiliary treatment measures in daily life, such as adjusting their diet and avoiding stimulants.
